Sanskrit dictionary
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryUpavadati (उपवदति).—(= Pali id.; also Vedic, but not Classical Sanskrit in this meaning; compare Anupavadya, nirupavadya), blames, reproaches: Mahāvastu i.70.2 (verse) te hi no upavadeyur (so 4 mss.; Senart with v.l. upapadeyur, but this form is bad, it should be °padyeyur) anudagrā (mss.), they would blame us as ignoble (or, if anudagrā is nom., being displeased, distressed; this is perhaps more likely).
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
